Tonight's reading selection is entitled "Meg". Many of the students are finding the phonetic/decoding skills and, consequently, the reading itself, to be easier every day. A good target for reading now is to have them work for smooth, fluent expression. This may mean that they will repeat some sentences - sometimes more than once. In school, we talk about how the reading should sound like you're talking to someone, not being robotic.
Thanks to everyone who sent treats for our Hallowe'en party. What a nice feast we had! The students' costumes were great - and so was their dancing. (I'll see if I can find time tomorrow to post a video of their Arthur Murray moves. Hold your breath everyone...)
Our spelling test tomorrow is on the "ook" family.
I've added a link at the side to another website: www.funbrain.com. Just click on Funbrain, listed under the links on the right hand side. (I've changed the format of the blog so that it's easier to find the links.... no scrolling down required any more.)
